The Episcopal Church of the Advent is seeking a transitional deacon or fairly newly ordained priest to share in the leadership of this Transition/Pastoral-sized, multigenerational, vibrant parish located in downtown Spartanburg. We look forward to welcoming a creative and energetic leader in the late spring or early summer of 2024 to spend 3-5 years in the full-time position of Assistant Priest for Youth & Family Ministries. This person will specifically lead all aspects of faith formation for families with middle and high school-aged children as well as college-age young adults, but also will be fully engaged with our Director of Children and Family Ministries. In addition, they will serve as pastor, priest, and teacher for the parish along with the Priest in Charge and Associate Rector.

The Assistant Priest will plan, design, and lead all programs for our youth and engage their families in the life of the church. They will build a network of volunteers to provide middle school and high school youth and college-age young adults with opportunities for formation, fellowship, and service.
